UK trade deficit widens further as exports suffer - 0 views

  •  
    In the final quarter of 2015, Britain's trade deficit worsened.

Howard Archer, the chief UK economist at IHS Global Insight, said,"UK exports have clearly struggled in recent months, as they have been hampered by sterling's overall strength in 2015, particularly against the euro, and moderate global demand." While recent declines in the value of sterling may boost export sales, this could be mitigated due to the deteriorating global situation.
